Abstract(s)
Empirical studies are important in software engineering to evaluate new tools, techniques, methods and
technologies in a structured way before they are introduced in the industrial (real) software process. Perform empirical
studies in a real context is very difficult due to various obstacles. An interesting alternative is perform empirical studies in an educational context using students as subjects and
share the results with the academia and the industry. This paper describes a case study with two teams that developed a
software system (Web application) for a real customer. In this study we used a model based on Function Points Analysis
(FPA) to estimate the size and complexity of software system.
